Summary

What's this? Another episode?

Well, sort of...

Providing both a tantalising peak behind the Patreon curtain and an apology for the delayed release, we decided to release this week's Gurometer episode to everyone.

If you want to play along you can add your own scores for Lex, Haidt, or any of our previous gurus here:

1:32.4

Yeah, very good description.

1:34.0

I mean, people can be misled by the name.

1:36.0

It sounds kind of steampunkish.

1:38.0

Gives the impression of that there's some sort of rotary mechanisms at play but actually it's a very precise

1:44.8

instrument and where we can put very exact numerical scores on each of these

2:13.0

The tongue is it a cheek.
